The Marquis of Lorne was one of his congregation when he 'resided in the Canadian capital as her Majesty's representative. young minister of St. Andrew's was very active, along with Dr. Grant and others, in promoting the Canada Presbyterian Union, which was so successfully consummated in 1875.

Elginburg, Aug. 4. (To 'the ditor): If you will allow me space in your paper I would like to say a few words in behalf of the farmers. In the issue of July 28th, I read an article entitled "Farm Furloughs Again." The writer seemed to think that it was a great mistake that soldiers .should be al- lowed to assist the farmers in the spring work and harvest. He be- lieved that the lack of help had been exaggerated and that the far- mers were sheltering themselves behind this food-raising proposition. He said that Great Britain cbuld get along without Canada's produce. He also appears to think thdt the farmers have given nothing in com- parison with other classes of people in the cause of the war; that we have given the smallest percentage of men; that we are the only people today who are making money; that we are pretending to be patriots but only filling our pockets with dollars. I: don't think that the writer of this article in the Canada Military Gazette has been in the country since the war began. If he had he would not insult the farmers by using such expressions. If he will take a drive through the country at the present time he will find the farmers working from 3.30 in the | morning until nine and ten at night. Not only the men but, their wives and daughters. He won't see so many sons, because a great many of them are at the front fighting for the Empire. He will see the women {-horse-raking, mowing, loading and | pitching tHe hay, drawing the milk to the factory and doing other kinds of work which is not fit for a woman to do. But they are doing it cheerfully to help all they can in this great war. The country people have worked hard for the Red Cross Society and Patriotic Fund. It is true that we are getting higher prices for some of the things that we have to sell, but we are more than paying that extra out in the higher prices we have to pay. Some city people seem {to think that the farmers have no | axpenses. For. instance when we | gather the hen's eggs we just go {out and pick them off the trees like |apples. If the cities have given | more of their men to the cause of {the war than the country has, let | them spare still more. Why not let the womankind drive the bread |carts, do all the clerking and numerous other kinds of work which |i8 lots easier than pitching hay and | grain, | We believe that Great Britain | does need Canada's produce more at the present time than ever before. We would like to hear what some good smart level-headed man who understands the farm, its profits and expenses, has to say on this subject. But I am confident that if you find the men who are taking advantage of this most solemn time in the world's history for » filling their pockets with money, you will not find them on the farms. -- A FARM- ER'S WIFE. oan BOWLING GAMES PLAYED.

The Watertown, N.Y., Standard has the following account of the death of Mrs. H. Tout, of that city, and a cousin of Thomas and James Robin- son, painters, of this city: : Mrs. Mary J. Tout, wife of Henry Tout, of No. 636 Lansing street, was killed Thursday morning when she jumped from an automebile driven by Mrs. G. M. Snow, of this city, at the top of the Depauville hill, locat- ed a short distance outside the vil- lage of Depauville, on the Clayton road. She landed upon her head and shoulders, bursting a blood ves- sel in her skull, and died before aid reached her. Mrs. Tout, with Mrs. Snow and her three grandchildren, were on their way to visit Mrs. Viola Johndrow, who resides on a farm about twp miles from Depauville. Mrs. Snow was driving the car, which was a Studebaker, and when they reached the Depauville hill she was forced to change gears. Going at second speed the car was unable to make the steep incline, and when the top was reached the machine began to slip backwards. It had gone down but a short distance when Mrs. Snow hurriedly changed to low. She made the hill, and was about to turn into a crossroad when Mrs." Tout, fearing that the car was about to tip over, opened the side door and jump- ed out of the auto. Mrs. Tout landed on her head and shoulders. Dr. I. J. F. Barton, of Depauville, was called, but the in- jured woman died before he arrived. She lived only about five minutes af- ter she struck the ground. Mrs. Tout was 49 years of age, born October 7th, 1867, in Kingston, Ont. Her parents were the late Thomas and' Hannah Robinson, her father at one time having been em- ployed in Her Majesty's the Queen of England customs. Mrs. Tout was married to Henry H. Tout, of thf city, twenty-eight years ago at her home in Kingston. About a year later she removed to this city, and had resided here since Mr. and Mrs. Tout observed their twenty-eighth wedding anniversary last Monday. | Surviving besides husband are two/ sons, Henry A., of No. 621, Mundy street, and Harold E., and a sister, | Miss Annie Robinson, who lived with | her. There are also a brother and| two sisters in Toronto. THOUSANDS OF MEN I Required For Harvesting In.
